The video discusses the "bat build" in a game, analyzing its strengths and weaknesses. The bat has exceptional mobility, with thin, flexible wings that allow for high-speed flight and precision movement. However, this comes at the cost of weak defenses, making them vulnerable to attacks. They also have low stealth, damage output, and other base stats.
The video breaks down the different variations of bats, including microbats and megabats. Microbats are nocturnal, have excellent hearing, and use echolocation to detect and attack flying insects. Megabats, on the other hand, are diurnal, have excellent vision, and opt for an herbivorous playstyle.
The video also discusses the bat's matchups against other builds, including flying insects, amphibians, stationary ambush builds, and diseases. Despite their weaknesses, highly skilled bat players can accomplish a lot using the bat's limited tools.
Overall, the video concludes that the bat build is unique but not the strongest, ranking it at a comfortable C-tier. However, their disease resistance and flight precision make them a formidable opponent in the right circumstances.
Here are the key facts from the text:
1. Bats have a high impact on the metagame in 2020.
2. The bat build is unique in several ways.
3. Bats have a wide range of stats, with high mobility but low defenses.
4. Bats have thin, membranous wings that are less resistant to tears and scratches than feathered wings.
5. Bats are not stealthy flyers and make more noise than other nocturnal aerial builds.
6. Bats have low damage output.
7. There are two categories of bats: microbats and megabats.
8. Microbats are smaller and have a highly specialized nocturnal play style.
9. Microbats heavily favor spending evolution points on their hearing sense rather than vision.
10. Microbats have excellent hearing and can use echolocation.
11. Echolocation is a sound-based perception perk that allows bats to negate stealth bonuses and track the location of other flying players.
12. Megabats are larger and have a diurnal play style.
13. Megabats have excellent vision but cannot use echolocation.
14. Megabats opt for an herbivorous playstyle and use their power of flight to access the best loot.
15. Bats have a high disease resistance.
16. Bats live in close quarters with each other, making them more susceptible to disease.
17. Pathogen mains need to spec into powerful virulence perks to target bats effectively.
18. Bats have a long lifespan compared to other builds with similar metabolisms and sizes.
19. The bat's incredible disease resistance is being studied by human data miners to advance human medicine.
